I assume you are a "White" team parent. The "Blue" team is older than the typical U14 - clarifications are embedded

3. Even if they were, they are all under the age limit for their division, so it's a moot point. SEE ITEMS 1&2 REANSWER NEXT YEAR
4. My son goes to public school UNTIL SEPTEMBER WHEN HE WILL REPEAT 8TH AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL
5. We aren't worried about college recruiting IT IS TOO EARLY HE HASN'T EVEN COMPLETED HIS SECOND YEAR OF 8TH GRADE
6. You are an idiot AGREED
To be clear the above was a joke.
I don't know if you really are or are not a contributor to the problem. It is well documented that many MD prep schools and club lacrosse teams are chock full of boys who repeated 8th grade solely to gain an athletic advantage. I really hope that NCAA recruiters learn to see past the advantage a 15 year old has over a 13 year old and do a better job projecting how strong players will be at 19 years old
